Damn I miss Seattle.
pho2gr4, have you ever taken any shots from that small park up on Highland st.?

You can count me in.
I'm not sure what you guys have in mind for lunch, but there's a really good japanese buffet (great teriyaki, sushi, tempura, soups and salads, desserts, etc) in Seattle called "Todai", and the lunch price is a steal (about $13 I think). One caveat is the parking garage underneath isn't tall enough for my VX unless I remove my full size spare from the roof rack (most garages in Seattle aren't).
There's also a Jillians which is good for get togethers, and there is a lot of covered and uncovered parking in the vicinity. There might even be some decent photo shots nearby the lake. The food there is decent.
On the other hand, finding something outside of the city might be better if you want to avoid the traffic and congestion. I'm game for anything between Portland and Seattle.

I like the Jillian's idea! Lots of parking around there, and LOTS of photo ops around Lake Union, right across the street.
Todai is nice, but parking is a BEE-hotch.
Can we count this as two votes for Jillian's?

Hi Cyronman,Originally Posted by cyronman
YES, I live up on Queen Anne Hill, and I take photos at Kerry Park all the time. It's great for portraits and weddings. Not so good for VXs, though, since you can't drive up onto the grass!!!
And hey, if you miss Seattle so much, why don't you make the drive out here for the meet?

It's a VX, it'll go!!!Hi Cyronman,

This sounds like fun, but I'm still short on time and money. Someday, someday, someday... When will it get better??? I'm starting to get tired of hearing myself say it.
If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

I would love to go, I drive to Winlock, Wa. every few weeks.
About 330mi. each time.
A meet closer to Portland would be more central to Or. & Wa. VX'ers.
The gorge is one of the most scenic places to photograph on Earth!
Many waterfalls and viewpoints.
Not many cars on the old Highway this time of year.

I used to drive home to the Bay Area from there on 4day weekends. 12 1/2 hour drives...Hi Cyronman,
And hey, if you miss Seattle so much, why don't you make the drive out here for the meet?
After convoying in Iraq for 12 months, road trips don't seem so bad anymore.
I'm considering moving back up there one day, but I'm saving my first VX meet ~20 hours away from you down here!
Can't wait for the pics though.

1) I'll be in VEGAS BABY from March 25th through 29th, for a photography expo. Paris Resort. Sadly, I have to fly there rather than drive the VX, due to time constraints. Still, I'm happy to raise a glass or five with any VX owners during that time!
2) I LOVE Portland. I get down there whenever I can. Here's a dealio: you guys put together a Portland (or thereabouts) meet at the BEGINNING of March sometime...guarantee me 4 or 5 other VX-heads...and I'll throw my two dogs in my Ebony for a weekend blast.
3) But still...come on...there MUST be a few more of you who can make it to the Seattle meet?!? I'll promise FREE PHOTOS for everyone!
And it's never too early to prepare for Bart's 2008 VX Calendar!

Seattle in Feb, Portland in March and it takes me about the same time to get to both. Lucky me. As far as a watering hole and eat's, outdoor parking is a must. Somewhere that management will work with us and rope of a section for VX parking only with maybe a nice backdrop. Unfortcantly, I do not know Seattle well enough to pick one but would consider a road trip tomorrow if there are any suggested places to check.
